Cush Core Trail 27.5 Single

CushCore Trail 27.5" Single – the perfect balance between protection, weight, and control

The CushCore Trail 27.5" Single is designed for trail riders who want more protection and stability than a lightweight XC insert, but without the extra weight of the CushCore Pro. The result is an excellent balance of low weight, rim protection, traction, and control—perfect for modern trail and all-mountain riding. CushCore Trail actively works inside the tire, providing progressive support to the tire’s sidewalls. During normal riding, the tire can still flex smoothly against the ground, but the harder you push the bike through corners and compressions, the more support the insert provides. This delivers a stable and predictable feel as the pace increases. The insert also acts as an extra cushioning layer between the tire and the rim. It absorbs hard impacts and vibrations from rocks, roots, and technical terrain, helping to reduce the risk of punctures, flat tires, and costly rim damage. With CushCore Trail, you can also experiment with lower tire pressure to allow the tire to conform better to the terrain. This can provide more grip on roots, rocks, and loose surfaces, while the insert supports the tire sidewall as you push the bike through fast corners. According to CushCore’s own tests, the system can provide 35% more lateral stability, reduce the force from major impacts by 50%, make the ride 12% smoother, and simultaneously reduce rolling resistance by 3%. The CushCore Trail is an excellent choice for riders who tackle trails, all-mountain terrain, and technical trails and want solid rim protection and stability without going all the way up to the heavier Pro version.
